Subject: Re: OT: Java vs PHP
I'm not sure I get the comparison of PHP, a programming language, with
Ruby on Rails, a full blown web stack application, have to do with each
other? I could understand comparing Cakephp to Ruby on Rails, or PHP to
Ruby as that would be making an apples to apples kind of comparison.
